Senators need to stand up

** UPDATE: THIS ALERT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE **

A small handful of senators, led by Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky, have committed to stalling or blocking every single judicial nominee put forth by President Obama.

And they're getting away with it because the reporters, the consultants, and the pollsters -- and even many of their colleagues -- just haven't paid much attention to the holds on nominees, the "extended debate," and the threats of filibusters.

But the vast majority of senators oppose these partisan games and obstructionist tactics, and we need those senators to stand up and speak out.
